The secret to hiring great product people

You can watch my talk describing the importance of emotional intelligence when hiring great product people, filmed at the ‘Mind the Product’ event held at the Barbican in London.

Emotional Intelligence: The missing skills in your Product Stack

For many of us success is mastering what we do; building great roadmaps, developing a knock-out strategy or hitting our OKRs. But what about how we do the work? Isn't that just as important?

In this talk, I look at what Emotional Intelligence is and how meta EI skills like self-awareness can help us make better decisions, build stronger relationships with colleagues and customers, and become more empathetic leaders and teammates.

You'll take away some practical tools that can help you explore and build your EI with everyday practices that can give you a boost both professionally and personally.

“Kate Leto's talk on emotional intelligence in product managers was both eye-opening and impactful. Her honesty and gravitas made the lessons stick with me long after the talk had ended. I highly recommend her talk to anyone interested in becoming a more effective product manager.”

— Janna Bastow, CEO of prodpad.com

“We loved having you! So many people mentioned to me after how helpful your talk was. Others suggested it could benefit the whole company - not just product! Thanks for a great talk and learning opportunity 💜.”

— Melissa Mills, VP of Product at Ardoq
